Chapter eight hundred and ninety second reward instead of punishment
Feeling the looks from everyone, Luo Xing smiled slightly. He turned his gaze to the old tree and said, "Ma Xiaolin, do you know your guilt?"
Ma Xiaolin is naturally the pseudonym of Laoshu, and he has a very good relationship with Ma Xiaozhi. At this time, he needed to sneak into Rashomon, so he directly made up the name Ma Xiaolin for himself.
Hearing Luo Xing call his name, Lao Shun snorted coldly, then bowed respectfully to Luo Xing and said, "I don't know what I want to say back to the boss!"
"Wow!" Liu Sheng shouted loudly: "I am angry, and I am angry. Ma Xiaolin, you have committed the crime below, and this is seen by everyone. Now you are still talking hard, even if we win
Zong, you are guilty of a crime that will result in death by a thousand cuts!"
"I'm sorry!" Laoshu shrugged: "This is Rashomon, and I'm not an elder of your Victory Sect. What right do you have to punish me?"
After finishing speaking, Liu Sheng didn't wait for him to speak, and then continued: "Besides, this crime seems not suitable for me. You and I are just equals at best, but you, who was so arrogant just now, are now tortured by me.
The dog immediately started barking, and I said that even though I always treat you as a dog, you don’t need to cooperate with me like this!"
Laoshu's destructive skills have been immersed in the ancient heritage for a long time. In the past, he would never be able to say such a sentence, but now, when he speaks, it is like a barrage of fire. Liu Sheng's face turned pale when he said it
One moment, one moment red, one moment black.
However, he just couldn't get a word in, and his chest kept rising and falling with anger, which really made people worry that he might suddenly explode later.
But Laoshu had no intention of stopping at all. Instead, he continued: "Although I found you first just now, it was because I didn't like you. And you accepted my challenge, even more so.
Come to this square with me. Why, could it be that because you lost, you have turned your back and want to let Master punish me and help you vent your anger?"
"You, you..." Lao Shu's grab for the lead left Liu Sheng completely speechless. Especially now that more and more disciples were gathering, everyone turned to Liu Sheng after hearing Lao Shu's words.
A look of contempt.
If Liu Sheng had directly mentioned Lao Shu's behavior before fighting Lao Shu, it would have been provocative. Maybe people wouldn't think anything of it. After all, Liu Sheng is still the leader of a faction, because of his status.
It is also normal to directly reject an elder's challenge.
But you just accepted the challenge from others, but because you can't beat others, it's like temporarily introducing rules to convince others. How can this be successful? I'm afraid it is impossible for an individual to support Liu Sheng's approach.
Together with the elders of the Victory Sect, when Lao Shu said this, they felt a burning sensation on their faces, and they were so ashamed that they wished they could find a hole to crawl in.
Liu Sheng naturally made the same generalization, but now, he was so angry that he couldn't care less. It was already embarrassing anyway.
It would be better to just bite it to the end, although it is still embarrassing. But at least it can make Laoshu pay the price, so that the anger in his heart can be calmed down a little.
"Okay!" Liu Sheng suddenly said at this time: "I admit that my skills are inferior to others, I admit that I can't defeat you. But so what, now we are an alliance, and the official positions between each other's camps are interchangeable. I
My status is equal to that of your leader. Now, you are openly provoking me and committing the following crime. It is impossible for you to get rid of this crime no matter what." Liu Sheng thought for a long time and finally thought of a reason.
.
"That's right!" Luo Xing finally spoke at this time, and his words were somewhat helpful. Liu Sheng felt happy when he heard this, and the feeling of humiliation in his heart was reduced a lot.
Just listen to Luo Xing continue to say: "Well, Ma Xiaolin, do you know the crime?"
Unexpectedly, Laoshu shook his head again and said: "Master, I don't know the crime!"
"Okay!" Luo Xing nodded: "As the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty. This time, you will pass the test, but if you do it again, you will not be spared!"
One sentence almost made all the elders present vomit blood. Just a second ago, they thought that Ma Xiaolin was about to be punished, but they couldn't. Luo Xing naturally suppressed the words "Those who don't know are not guilty" came out of his mouth.
Come.
With such a simple sentence and such a far-fetched excuse, Ma Xiaolin was directly absolved of all his sins.
Ma Xiaolin also bowed in a modest and teachable manner and said: "Report to the leader, I remember. I will never do it again in the future, otherwise I will be willing to follow the rules of the sect!"
"But!" Luo Xing seemed to have made up his mind to play out the mystery to the end today. He suddenly changed the subject and said, "But you can escape the death penalty, but you cannot escape the living penalty. Liu Sheng is a dignified leader.
I've been humiliated like this by you, I can't cover you up, like this..."
Luo Xing glanced at Ma Xiaolin and said: "This time, our four major sects, together with representatives of two sects, are going to form a team to negotiate with the three platoon alliances to get a feel for the details of these three sects' alliances and take a look at them.
What on earth are they doing? Especially to find out what means they relied on to conquer all the heads and elders of the seventy sects. This trip is undoubtedly very dangerous and full of difficulties. I am going to send you.
Go, what do you think?"
When Lao Shu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. Okay, give me a pillow when you feel sleepy. Because the relationship between the two forces has become increasingly tense, Lao Shu has been unable to convey the news for nearly three months, for fear of being suddenly discovered.
, something big happened!
But now, this Luo Xing actually asked him to represent Rashomon to "examine.[,!]examination"
This made Lao Shu almost laugh out loud, but the expression on his face did not change much. Instead, he bowed and said: "The master has an order, so I naturally dare not postpone it. As long as the master trusts me,
I'm willing to take this trip!"
"Okay!" Luo Xing suddenly laughed and said: "Okay, very good. You are brave and resourceful. I really did not misjudge you. If the trip goes well this time, I will definitely promote you to the great elder when I come back. Even if you are
Even after you die, I will help you take good care of your ten clansmen, and I will definitely continue your lineage in the future!"
"Thank you, Master!" Lao Shu saluted again, this time with golden light shining in his eyes, as if he was attracted by Luo Xing's promise.
This appearance in Luo Xing's eyes undoubtedly deepened Luo Xing's trust in Laoshu.
You must have a disciple. This is the same as the emperor controlling the ministers. The emperor must be allowed to see the weaknesses of the ministers. You are a minister who is greedy for merit, not fame, and not money. You look like you have no desire or desire all day long. Emperor
It would be weird if I would trust you.
The emperor is a human being, and ministers are also human beings. If the emperor has weaknesses, he must also be allowed to see the weaknesses of his ministers. If a minister is impulsive, has a violent personality, is greedy for money, or is lustful, it will all suffice.
The emperor will not kill you or cause trouble for you because of this. As long as you can ensure that it is at an appropriate level, it is enough. It is even possible that this is the key to your promotion.
Similarly, Laoshu now deliberately wants Luo Xing to see his weakness and make Luo Xing think that he is greedy for power. This is his weakness.
As long as Luo Xing feels that he has a weakness, that is enough.
Suddenly, the situation in the field changed drastically. These people couldn't help but feel confused. Luo Xing was simply showing partiality and using rewards instead of punishments.
In fact, the life and death of a little Ma Xiaolin is of no importance in the eyes of these elders. They just want to use this matter to sense the signals that the four major sects want to send.
But now, such a signal is very obvious. It can be seen that the four major sects are angry, and they seem to have reached the extreme limit of their patience with these thirty sects who are ungrateful.
Luo Xing's performance in front of him is a signal. If Liu Sheng and others continue to be ignorant, then I'm afraid it won't be as simple as picking out Ma Xiaolin.
Liu Sheng seemed to have thought of this, and his expression changed several times. After all, he didn't seem to say anything more, but waved his ragged sleeves, snorted coldly, and left here directly.
Luo Xing didn't even look at him, instead he said with a smile: "You must have heard very clearly that for ten places, each of our four major sects is willing to contribute one disciple. As for the six places, please pay
I’ll handle it for you, but by this time tomorrow I have to see all the people due!”
After speaking, Luo Xing paused and said: "I repeat, this time it will not be a trip. It will be the possibility of facing unknown dangers. If the person you sent is a coward, I will let my people
Get rid of him directly and save him from embarrassment!"
After saying that, Luo Xing waved his sleeves and said, "Let's go!"
At this time, everyone cast their complicated eyes on the old tree as they walked. This meeting did not need to be like this at all. The appearance of the old tree undoubtedly made all the sects fall into passivity.
At this time, they wanted to kill the old tree, but it was useless. At this time, they did not even dare to say a word of provocation.
They have already seen what this old tree looks like. If they say something wrong and the old tree rushes towards them, they will have no place to run.
Especially Laoshu's cultivation, they saw it clearly. They didn't dare to stroke the tiger's beard at all. Instead, they had already begun to discuss where to find six unlucky ghosts and let them represent the thirty sects to participate.
What kind of negotiation meeting is this time?
Time flew by, and at the same time the next day, the old tree appeared in the square again under the leadership of the head guard.
Different from yesterday, the square today seemed extremely empty. There were only nine people standing there. Needless to say, these nine people should be the nine "unlucky guys" who were going to walk with the old tree.
